NEW VISION FOR COMPLIANCE
Grounded in the expertise of Indigo Group (one of the UK’s largest commercial contracting businesses in construction), a
seasoned board of directors, and full-time compliance assessors and operational experts, Nova has swiftly positioned itself as the market-leading and indispens- able ally to private hire operators across the UK. Nova’s cutting-edge software and services, meticulously crafted for the private hire sector, address current legal complexities and equip businesses to thrive amidst regulatory changes.
The urgency for such solutions has never been greater. The Labour government’s imminent overhaul of employment laws has intensified the regulatory landscape, forcing operators to fundamentally reassess their compliance strategies. Moreover, the increase in employment tribunal cases highlights the perilous consequences of misclassification and non-compliance.
NOVA’S INNOVATIVE APPROACH
Nova’s approach is comprehensive and proactive. Beyond merely reacting to regulatory shifts, their software and combined services are designed to anticipate and mould these changes into oppor- tunities for business enhancement and growth.
Key Features at a Glance:
• Full-service provider: we know operators are busy. Once onboarded with Nova, we manage driver inter- actions and take the pressure off. We aren’t just another software package; we are a full-service provider.
• Dynamic compliance monitoring: continuous adjust- ments keep operators perfectly in tune with the latest legal standards.
• Clear employment status differentiation: essential guidance in an era where employment status is heavily scrutinised.
• Seamless regulatory adaptation: Nova’s solutions evolve alongside legislative changes, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
• Contract management: new rules require written contracts and protections for the self-employed. Nova manages these contracts and mitigates HMRC’s tougher tax enforcement within its platform.
• Compliance: we provide monthly reports and maintain clear, traceable assessments from both operator and driver viewpoints, with all interactions documented and stored within the platform. We are the one golden source.
